Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins will miss the remainder of the campaign after tests confirm he suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

A Pro Bowler at guard last season, Jenkins started eight games at left tackle this year with All-Pro David Bakhtiari still rehabbing from a torn ACL sustained in January.

Bakhtiari was activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list on Nov. 10 but has yet to make his return. The Packers hope to get the veteran back on the field sometime in December, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Green Bay will play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 before entering its bye week, so Bakhtiari could be in line to make his season debut in Week 14.

Yosh Nijman will man the left tackle spot until Bakhtiari is ready to play.
